HOW TO GET RICH.
Some Marvellous Stories Of Success From
From the West.

A boy, the only son of a widowed
mother, says the Bismarck, Oak. }
Tribune, was lost near Ashland, and
while wandering around the prarie
he found a 10-cent piece. Walking
into Ashland, he told his story to
one of the many generous real estate
agents, who sold him an option on a
lot. On the following day the boy
sold the property and purchased a
controlling interest in railroad, and
made his mother a present of q
diamond necklace, which he ordered
from Paris. The boy was only 2
years old, or he might have invested
his 10 cents to much better advan-
tage.
A young man 90 years of age pur-
chased suburban house and lot in
Sioux City. He went out to look nj
the lot. He halted on his journey tc
get married. When he reached the
property he found q cosy little home
for his wife and family, the only
event to mar the pleasure of the triT
being the death of his little grand.
daughter, who died from exhaus
tion.
Two men became engaged in a
quarrel over the ownership of al
option of five minutes on q piece O

The surplus revenue for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1887, will be
about 800, 10000 This means that
the American people have been COM
PEELED to pay in taxes 500, 100000
more than was necessary.
Very soon the whole Of the United
States bonded debt which is redeem
able will have been paid. There will
then be but two alternatives, If the
taxes be not reduced; Either the
surplus must be applied to the pur-
chase of Government bonds In
the open market; or the surplus
must remain in the Treasury.
To tax the people to raise money
to redeem, at a premium of 20 or 80
per cent, the bonds which, at matu-
rity, can be redeemed at par, is justly
characterized as monstrous. To re-
tain in the Treasury a vast sum of
public money will be dangerous to
trade, for it will contract the currency
and disturb the money market.
Two courses are open to Congress
when it shall assemble. One is to
reduce taxation, in order to reduce
the revenue. The other is to increase
expenditures so as to absorb the sur
plus.
A considerable increase in expendi-
tures-profigate appropriations-will
not be tolerated. The Executive
veto protects and guards the people
There is but one other course, and
that is to diminish taxation.
How shall taxation be diminished.
The Republicans and Randallites de-
mand that the protective duties-the
taxes which press most heavily upon
the people--shall not be disturbed
The Democrats generally desire that
the tariff shall be revised. To this
in truth, the party is publicly and
solemnly pledged.
There is safety and success in less
ening taxes on the materials of man
ufacture, so that American manufac
turers may be put in position Il
produce more cheaply than at pres
ent, to their own advantage and K
the advantage of every consumer.

A NoTABLE OPERA HOUSE.
The New Orleans Theatre In the Time
of Old Hickory.

The most splendid of all these
places OF amusement was the old
Orleans Street theater, built in 1918,
which, with its famous ball rooms
adjoining, Is associated with many
Joyous memories that cluster around
the old French quarter. There was
a row OF boxes, called baignOires, on
a level with the parqnet, which were
usually occupied by the middle
classes. The premieres, or first tier,
with its balcony and boxes, was
monopolized by the most exclusive
and fashionable portion OF the popula-
tion. In the secondes, or second tier,
the elite of the colored inhabitants
displayed themselves, and still
lower strata found an airy elevation
in gallery above these. The opera
was supported by liberal subscrip-
tions, and nearly all the boxes of the
first tier were taken by the year.
Two grand and two comic operas
were given each week, the other
nights being devoted to vaudevilles
by the dramatic portion of the COM
pany. Although 1t was the correct
thing for all society to be present at
each operate performance, yet Tues
days and Saturdays were especially
fashionable nights, when not to be
seen at the opera was to have COM
mitted social mistake. These oc-
casions We're particularly brilliant be-
cause every one appeared in full
evening dress; the first tier sparkled
with the jewels of the creole ladies;
the second tier was no less magnifi-
cent in the superb apparel of the
quadroon women; and even in the
parquet the men wore dress coats and
white kid gloves. The aisles be-
tween the boxes were comfortably
wide SO that the gay gallants OF
society could approach the seats OF
their lady friends between the acts OF
the opera, often considered equiva.
lent to party call, during an even
ing. Visitors to New Orleans from
other cities were enthusiastic about
the beauty of the creole women and
their exquisite taste in dress as seen
in the old French opera house. The
whole scene was entirely French and
presented brilliant coup d'pil never
before equalled in America. The
audiences of seventy years ago were
intellectual, cultivated and highly
critical, and they exacted more abso-
lutte perfection in the rendition o
grand opera than is often met with
now.

A RErysLrcAH scHEmE.
What Is Said TO be Their Plans for Divid-
ing the Solid South.


A special from Atlanta, Ga, says:
For some time strange rumors have
been current in political centers In
the South of movements which
would give an entirely new phase
to the present party alignments.
Prominent Republican leaders have
been visiting each other and making
trips to the North, where they meet
men still higher in party leadership.
Several months ago one of the best
known Republican leaders of this
section made an alleged Western trip.
Five days later a letter was received
by friend dated Augusta, Me-,
which indicated that the politician
had changed his course, the party
who received the letter inadvertently
allowed 1t to be seen. Said he: at
would not do for our scheme to be
known yet, but we intend to throw
the Democrats by move which will
leave then breathless. Jim Blaine
Is the man who has the dash to make
1t successful. If we get it in to shape
New York may go to the wind, for
we will carry the general election in
spite of her." In vain was he
pressed for further explanation. He
would only say, "wait and you will
see." 1t was just after this that Mr..
Sherman made his Southern trip,
tarrying with Malone on his way
and complimenting Gov. Taylor, of
Tennessee, on his way back. Then,
as a further preparation for events to
come, w. ID. Kelly, the Pennsyl-
vania congressman, has been spend
ing the winter i'm Alabama, he was
there when Congress adjourned.
His speech in Rome, Ga, was a
clever appeal to a Democratic audi
enee. Distinguished Republicans
went thither to hear him, and kind
of political love feast was held.
Yesterday the correspondent of the
World had long conversation with
a Republican of wide reputation,
who is invited to the national con-
sultation. In that conversation the
whole scheme of political mannuvre-
ing in the South was made plain.
He said: ut has been slowly dawn
ing upon the Republican leaders that
the elections can no longer be carried
on sectional issues. 1t is hardly pos.
sible that we could rally the Irish as
we did in the last campaign. Now
the plan is to strike for the South
Leading Southern Republicans have
taken to the idea, and insist that In
this move lies the salvation of the
Republican party. The whites are
already divided on the prohibition
issue. There are Democrats in
Georgia, for instance, who despisc
Senator Colquitt because he is a pro
hibitionist. There others who loatf
Senator Brown because he is an anti
prohibitionist. In Texas you have
right now an example of the divis
ions which this question has caused
Then the tariff question has pusheC
its way into Southern politics. TIL,

and North Carolina are claimed by
the tariff advocates under the new

THE recent meeting Of Buffalo
Bill's party with Queen Victoria was
an event to be remembered by the
Queen as well as by Red Shirt and
Col. Nate Salisbury. When Red
Shirt approached Victoria each saw
in the other a ruler sf agreat people,
and their proud hearts beat In unison
as Red Shirt lit his pipe and knocked
flea from his flowing blanket.
But the most remarkable part of this
interview was when Col. Salisbury
was presented to Her Majesty. Col.
Salisbury Is easily recognizable as one
of natures noblemen, a fact that
Immediately put him on a free-and-
easy footing with the Queen.

"'And had you really got king

and with some indignation.
"'Yes, mann, said Nate, full as a

"The Colonel's evident familiarity
with kings and queens served to
put Her Majesty still more at her
ease, and after expressing her regret
that kings were, after all, subject to
some of the frailties of ordinary NOR
tails, she inquired of Col. Salisbury
how he liked Indians.
"'I like 'em fried, said that gem
tleman, though they are not bad
when picked and cooked in white

Tho Effects of Mental Exhaustion.

Many diseases, especially those of the
nervous system, are the products Of
daily renewed mental exhaustion.
Business avocations often involve an
amount of mental wear and tear very
prejudicial to physical health, and the
professions, il arduously pursued, are
no less destructive to brain and nerve
tissue. 1t is one Of the most important
attributes OF Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters, and it compensates for this undue
loss OF tissue, and that it imparts new
energy to the brain and nerves. The
rapidlty with which it renews weakened
mental energy and physical vitality is
remarkable, and shows that its invigor-
ating properties are Of the highest order.
Besides increasing the vital stamina,
and counteracting the effects OF mental
exhaustion, this potential medicine
cures and prevents fever and agne,
rheumatism, chronic dyspepsia and
constipation, kidney and uterine weak
ness and other complaints. Physicians
also recommend it as amedicated stimu-
liant and remedy. I'm.

When Randall Was Speaker.
louisville Tims.I

The Covington Commonwealth Is
still harping upon the reduction Of
the Democratic majority In the
House of Representatives, and by
indirection lays the blame upon Mr..
Carlisle. Now let us have a little
history. In the Forty-fourth Con-
gress the Democratic majority was
near one hundred. Sam Randall
was Speaker after the death Of Mr..
Kerr. In the Forty-fifth Congress
the Democratic majority was about
fifty. Sam Randall was stillSpeaker.
In the Forty-sixth Congress the
Democratic majority was less than
dozen. Sam Randall was Speaker
of this Congress also. In the Forty
seventh Congress the Republicans
had a majority, from which the
Commonwealth will observe that its
great man came down stairs about as
rapidly as anybody In modern times.
